Again

She broke my heart again

It failed as she skipped out of reach

It’s okay

Little things can go unnoticed

How big can a heart really be?

She gave it a kick as she stumbled over it

That paled in comparison when she stepped on it

I gift wrapped my heart

I even sang a little tune as I tied the bow

She had that look though

A little moue of surprise and a stutter

My heart dropped and I leaned back

Bracing myself always feels like it should help

But, then she broke it

Kicked it

Stepped on it

Scuffed it for sure

It got a little blurry

I knew as soon as she said

“We can still be friends right?”
